Also, there is a conference in PEI on Sept. 30/Oct.1 and Shelly has taken the opportunity to book a house for accommodation with room for multiple Rotarians at a cost of $110 a night.
 
                      Gerry Davis was announced that he attended a funeral of a long time client of the PWD committee. He was pleased that Rotary and the work we did with Arnold Justason and the help and support we provided him were mentioned multiple times in the funeral service, the obituary etc. The family put out an "ask" requesting that donations be made to Rotary in Arnold's name.

Committee Reports:
 
Valley Faces is at $128,000. There are still a few days left to sign contracts but the time has come to begin the editorial process.
 
Youth Committee, Craig McMullen reports that there are a lot of 'asks' coming in to the committee and he is wondering if there should be a more formalized application process. It was determined that creating an application based off the current one used by our PWD Committee would be a first good step.
 
PWD, Jeff Kelly mentioned that there are a few big 'asks' in the works and details will follow.

Doug Hill visited Fred Walsh and although Fred did not recognize him he did recognize his grandson who was visiting for Fred's Birthday.
